I'll have to check it out later today. But glancing at it, looks like it should work.

Although, it is more common to see NRPN and RPN's to be sent in groups of three for every message.

So it is a bit unusual to see the LSB and MSB to go out once and then a bunch of value messages by themselves.

However, I believe that the HAWK code supports that anyway. I'll have to check.

I managed to fix the jittery output. The 8th pot was defective, causing the MC's analog input to float without a steady reference I guess.
Anyway, that one defective pot messed up the other 7 in that group. I guess the mod wheel was on some kind of isolated circuit? I dunno..
Just glad the new pot I put in fixed it!
Additionally, the old pot must have been impacted by the PO. Not only damaging the pot, but also the trace/pad for that pot's wiper lead. It was lifted from the PCB when I went in to desolder it!
The new pot's lead is barely making connection.. If it goes bad again, I may have to just remove the pot and ground the input to stabilize the rest.

I still have NRPN problems.

This is a link to the Oxygen's manual..

Here's a copy of what MIDIOX showed when I setup a knob to nrpn control "90", the VCF LFO1 Mod Depth. I have "GL 16 00" as my global setting.

024DEEAE 1 -- B0 62 5A 1 --- CC: NRPN LSB

024DF3BD 1 -- B0 06 10 1 --- CC: Data Entry MSB
024DF44E 1 -- B0 06 11 1 --- CC: Data Entry MSB
024DF529 1 -- B0 06 12 1 --- CC: Data Entry MSB

No response whatsoever from the HAWK with the above stream of msgs, post surgery.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
